Slater Koekkoek has signed a three-year, entry-level deal with Tampa Bay.
He skated in OHL 42 games this season with the Peterborough and Windsor prior to requiring a second surgical procedure on the same shoulder he injured last year. Koekkoek was selected by Tampa in the first round, 10th overall, of the 2012 draft.

Tampa Bay prospect Slater Koekkoek will require a second shoulder surgery that will keep him on the shelf for four to six months.
Koekkoek had the same surgery on the same shoulder last season. "The first procedure he had, it failed, so he needs to have it redone," said Lightning GM Steve Yzerman. He generated six goals and 28 points in 40 games with Peterborough this season prior to being traded to Windsor, where he had one assist in two contests.

Slater Koekkoek contributed an assist in Peterborough's 3-0 win against Belleville on Thursday night.
Koekkoek is the team's second-leading scorer this season with 28 points in 39 games. The Petes have endured a tough year, which has a great deal with him sporting a horrid minus-25 rating.
